Forum rep bug
​

What server are you reporting this issue on?

Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible.

Whenever you try to Like or Thank a post, the like or thank is not received. (at least visibly) If you then try to Like or Thank the comment or post twice, (aka removing the thank or like you already gave) Then it just gives negative rep without you disliking it.
This is a minor problem, but I still thought it would be a good idea to give a heads up.
​

What should be happening instead?

Well, of course, a thank should give +2 rep and a like should give +1 rep as well as dislikes should give -1 rep.
Maybe do a forum setback if possible.
​

Please describe how to replicate the bug in as much detail as possible

Try to go to any post and give it a like or a thanks and notice how it's not showing, then try to like or thank the same post again to "remove the already given like or thank" and notice how the rep decreases without any visible rep is given.
​

Any extra info we may need to know

Noticed this yesterday evening around 11pm CET

"Thank" button glitch - decreases target's rep
​

What server are you reporting this issue on?

eGO Forums webpage
​

Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible.

User Ledzo tagged me in a post in this thread: https://www.edge-gamers.com/forums/showthread.php?343128-Chirstmas-knife-giveaway/page3
I responded and tagged him back. I then clicked on the "Thank" button on his post. I'm used to seeing it add to the bottom of the post "Idol thanked for this" or words to that effect. But nothing visible happened. So I waited a second then clicked it again. Same result. I refreshed the page and tried again. Nothing. I repeated this process a few times; sometimes waiting longer, sometimes refreshing. Twice I got an error saying I had just clicked a second ago and had to wait before clicking again. Then I noticed his rep score was 141. I swear it was 152? 155? when I started. I tried once more and noticed his rep dropped to 139. So I stopped and came here.
​

What should be happening instead?

1 - should increase target rep
2 - should add "Idol thanked this post" or similar

Be me. Go to thread. Thank Ledzo for his post.
​

Any extra info we may need to know

I'm using Firefox 71.0 on Windows 10. Full public versions, no incognito or other TOR cyber spooky stuff. I did have multiple tabs open: youtube and a couple recipes (for Carolina mustard BBQ sauce - but that's probably not important). And I am running Adblock Plus, Privacy Badger, and uBlock Origin plug-ins.

showthread.php?343012 Its a forum wide issue, it seems that you're able to "thank" then "like" a post, then spam dislike and you end up giving people 3 forum rep.

[Idol]

Here's a possible fix - can we make the "dislike" button ban the user instead?

 

[Ledzo]

Thank you Idol

Merged your thread with this one, since it's describing the same issue.

thank you. You have done a great job with this forum.
I like it just the way it is. By the way, since I started coming to this forum, I seldom go to the other ones.

thank you for your loyalty. However this forum is not fine the way it is, with the current bugs at hand.

Thank you for your time.

So question, is it possible for forum rep to be reset? Because I was at like 34, and duck had to reset it because I was at like -18 so he reset it to 0 and now im at negative 2 again..
